- After debate over the strategy to be used with Romanos IV, it was decided to attack him, so as to give him no further opportunity for audacity. Konstantinos Doukas was summoned by his father (Ioannes the kaisar) and asked to gather his forces again and march against Romanos IV . But he refused. Thus Ioannes and Michael VII gave the command to Andronikos Doukas, the kaisar's other son. He was entrusted with the entire eastern command and sent against Romanos. On the very day he was put in command, he took leave of Michael VII and his father the kaisar Ioannes, crossed the Bosporos, spent six days at Chalcedon gathering necessities for the expedition, then went through the East collecting, preparing and training troops and distributing provisions. Together with Robert Crépin he gained all their loyalties by fair treatment, and advanced to Cilicia
